I love the bottles in photos 13 and 14, especially the ones with the fishing and hunting scenes. Are these bottles for spirits? Are they still for sale in Finland? I also like the plain coloured bottles, the red and the blue. I like the very decorated crystal, but it is not my choice for using in the house. Wonderful photos, once again. You must have a huge library of photos.

Hello jackiequeen. How nice that You left Your comment here. Well, I think that those 13 and 14 are not at sale no more. In my family those blue bottles are our favorites. My wife is collecting blue bottles. Well, about the amount it is between 35 000 – 40 000. Regards.

Good evening, Matti
The glassblowing I know. My father learned the trade. He made beautiful lamp shades, vases and other things. I saw him when I was a child, to his job often as he produces. Glassblowing need a lot of air and healthy lungs by blowing through the long tube so that the liquid glass mass again comes out. It is also associated with a lot of heat. Here in our neighborhood, in Linz on the Rhine in Germany, is still a glass-blowing museum with many nice things that money can buy anyone. I will continue to try to visit your blog. I wish you good luck and health.
Dear greetings Christel

Thank You telling about Your father and glass blowing. What a coincidence, because I was today visiting this museum again. There was an installation about Christmas decorations. From Germany there were a lot of thing. One special place in Germany is Lauscha.
